AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IS EVERYONE'S BUSINESS
A meeting opened to the entire Gallaudet

community was held last Wednesday after-

noon to discuss the College's Affirmative
Action Plan. Despite campus-wide circu-

lation of a memo announcing the meeting,

attendance was sparse.

In opening the meeting, Ethel Bothuel
‘stated that "affirmative action
committment must come from the top and
filter on through." President Merrill
_re-affirmed his commitment to affirma-_
tive action as the only way we have to
rid the College of unfair employment
practices, but he also expressed his
frustration over not seeing the kind of
improvements which, are needed.

Our plan is only one of six such plans
prepared by institutions of higher educa-
tion in our division to be accepted by
HEW. Copies of the plan will be printed
and distributed to budget unit heads in
the next six to eight years. Every
Gallaudet employee is encouraged to re-
view it and report his or her suggestions
and comments to the President's Office.

In general, the plan consists of the
following sections:

*Part I gives the objectives of the
program and the affirmative action policy
statement.

*Part II outlines the College's mission
and organizational structure and points
out Gallaudet's special commitment to
the hiring and advancing of deaf persons.

*Part III details the scope and admin-
istration of the Affirmative Action Pro-
gram.

*Part IV presents a detailed work force

analysis.

*Part V follows with a work force
utilization.

*Part VI outlines our goals for elimina-
ting problem areas over the next seven
years.

*Part VII specifies action oriented
programs which will make affirmative
action part of our day to day activities.

An Affirmative Action Committee, which
will be composed of every facet of the
Gallaudet community -- staff, faculty,
minorities, men, women, and deaf persons --
will be established. The larger committee
will generate sub-groups to work on
specific problems. If you would like to
be on the committee, please contact

‘Ethel Bothuel before July 12.

ALL COLLEGE HALL PEOPLE

. With the advent of hot weather and

subsequent increase demands upon the

power system, College Hall has experienced

a rash of varied power failures. Until

improved services can be provided your

cooperation is needed to maintain unin-

terupted power by:

--Turning off lights when out of the
office.

--Turning the A/C to a little higher
temperature.

--Unplugging the coffee ‘pot after coffee

has been brewed.

--Not brewing coffee and running the A/C
at the same time.

--Turning off lights. and A/C when leaving
for the day.

--Keeping the doors and windows closed
in air conditioned areas.

Although it is not as critical to adopt
these measures in other buildings on
campus, most of these suggestions make
good conservation sense.

on the Mall entrance side of Chapel Hall.
